Good morning Col Burroughs and we've made it to another Wednesday
This reminds me of Sgt Joe Davis' Morning Prayer and being grateful for being here. I've seen far too many die ahead of their time to take my life for granted; I truly try to appreciate what I have been given and use it the way I believe the Lord intended me to do. Want to change how you feel? When you open your eyes in the morning, simply say, "thank you for another day" even before you get out of bed.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Excellent share this morning - running behind Charlie.
“May you continue to experience all the daily joys of being alive even through the tough days and great day; and the days yet to come of the unknown. Embrace being alive because it’s a gift and a miracle all in one; may you always be positive and resilient while being alive; and may you take the very best care of yourself and keep you family strong, safe and healthy during these uncertain times in our American History. Be there, be awake, and enjoy the journey no matter what while being alive! — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I expect that you relish being alive and that your soul leaps for joy often as you are grateful for eternal life in Christ. I expect you respect human life in all its facets, and you are not biased against anybody for what they cannot control including skin color, height, or heritage. I expect that you understand that having our soul reborn is closer to a miracle than being alive Charlie.
I pray that you and I are pro-life in every sense and that we are compassionate and increasingly gracious, kind, and tolerant, my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I pray LORD that each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who read this prayer are not only thankful for being alive but also help those around us to enjoy life.
I lift the despondent, the suicidal, and those with troubled souls to YOU dear LORD. Deliver them for nightmares. I pray that YOU infuse hope into each one and that YOU bless each one with peaceful rest and pleasant dreams.
I pray for an increase of respect for life for each of the elected leaders, legislators, appointed officials, and judges throughout the USA, as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America.
I pray that YOU bless each person working to develop vaccines and treatment for COVID-19 with wisdom and good health.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Wednesday night and shall awake healthy on Thursday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good “Wednesday Morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from the threatening clouds of the Greater Boston Area! Looks like a few storms will pop up this afternoon... “Being Alive Day!” Why Not?
1) "Nothing has to happen for me to feel good! I feel good because I'm alive! Life is a gift, and I revel in it." - Tony Robbins
2) "It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are." - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
3) "I am alive. Up here with the song of the engine and the air whispering on my face as the sunlight and shadows play upon the banking, wheeling wings, I am completely, vibrantly alive. With the stick in my right hand, the throttle in my left, and the rudder beneath my feet, I can savor that essence from which life is made." - Stephen Coonts
4) "The grapes on a score of rolling hills are red with autumn flame. Across Sonoma Mountain wisps of sea fog are stealing. The afternoon sun smoulders in the drowsy sky. I have everything to make me glad I am alive. I am filled with dreams and mysteries. I am all sun and air and sparkle. I am vitalized, organic." - Jack London
We should all...
